Exploring the Live View Dashboard
SHOPLINE Live View provides a dynamic dashboard that offers a real-time view of your store's activity. You can monitor visitor interactions and order sales on your online store. This feature is especially valuable for understanding the immediate impact of your newly launched marketing campaigns, discounts, and promotional events, as well as during peak shopping seasons like Black Friday.
Viewing the Live View Dashboard
The information displayed on the Live View dashboard is based on your store's local time. To access the dashboard, follow these steps:
- From your SHOPLINE admin panel, go to Analytics > Live View.
- On the dashboard, you can drag the map to reposition it, use the + and - icons to zoom in or out, and click the full-screen icon for an expanded view. If you want to share the live map without exposing sensitive data, simply click the eye icon to hide metric details.
